The best results for a print would be having an actual photo lab make a photographic print. Local photographers will know who does good work, assuming they still work with film. Unless you want it enlarged, nearly any place still doing film can make a contact print. Enlarging means having the right holder for the negative to fit their enlarger, and most places don't have carriers for older formats.
My scanner has a negative attachment that is supposed to do 35mm negatives. I've never been able to get it to work. The scanner won;t even run with it plugged in. Plus it only handles strips of 3 like you get from the typical lab. I've got a fairly wide range of negatives, from 110 size up to some glass ones.
What has worked for me is scanning them by placing my wifes small light table over them. It's just like the attachment and I can do up to about 8x10.
The light table was inexpensive and she got it from one of the sewing/craft stores.
